Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species: First sequence: STUVWX Second sequence: UVXTSW Third sequence: UVWSTX Fourth sequence: SWVUTX Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)2341

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1, 4, 3, 2.

Explanation:

It is given that the first sequence represents the earliest or ancestor species therefore, the first sequence would be - STUVWX

After the inversion, the highlighted sequence of the first sequence STUVWX gives rise to the second sequence as:

STUVWX

SWVUTX

Thus the second sequence after Ist inversion would be SWVUTX

2nd inversion, Third sequence:

SWVUTX

UVWSTX

Thus the third sequence after 2nd inversion is UVWSTX

3rd inversion, fourth sequence:

UVWSTX

UVXTSW

Thus, the fourth sequence after 3rd inversion is UVXTSW

What is the most accurate classification of the common forms of coronary artery disease and hypertension?
Genrish500 [490]
The most accurate classification of the common forms of coronary artery disease and hypertension is that they are complex disorders which result from gene-environment interactions. For example, almost 60% of CAD cases are found in South East Asia, that too when their population if just 20% of the total world's population. This is due to the environmental interactions with the genetic disposition of the people of this region.

The natural means by which filoviruses infect humans is __________.
grigory [225]
<span>The means is unknown. Filoviruses are known for causing hemorrhagic fever in humans. However, once a human is infected, passing the virus from person-to-person is the means by which others become infected. Most especially is the transmission through infected bodily fluids or objects that have been unsterilized and come into contact with those fluids.</span>
